Okay, this time I am not late! But I do have a lack of new fics. Today it'll be two I've found during the week and four from my Ao3 Bookmarks.

Fic #1

Wheelbound by Janusi

Fandom(s): Godbound/Wheel of Time

Word Count: 24K

Chapters: 7

Published: November 9th

Last Updated: December 8th

Okay, so. This is a crossover between the tabletop RPG Godbound and the excellent book series Wheel of Time, which has a TV Series adaptation released recently. I could go on and on about the books, but this is about the fanfiction. I know jack shit about Godbound, but the comments on the thread are enough for me to get the picture. And it's glorious. The SI is a Dragon Godbound, in a tale where an important character is called The Dragon. It may be short, because it's a recent one, but the SI has started to carve out his own path, different from the main characters's. There is a reunion waiting to happen in Caemlyn, and personally, I am excited to see what it will bring. 10/10 Absolutely Reccomend.

P.S.: Unfortunately, prior knowledge of WoT is necessary to understand the plot. But I cannot reccomend the books enough. They're worth it.

Fic #2

Cadetship Calamity by AMournfulHowlInTheNight

Fandom: Final Fantasy VII

Word Count: 24,965

Chapters: 8

Published: April 25th, 2020

Last Updated: November 7th

Your classic "Cloud Time Travels" fic. But with a twist: Both Cloud and Sephiroth come from the Remake Timeline, and are stuck in the head of 10-Year Old Cloud. A child. Who goes on to join Shinra three months after falling into a pool of Mako and meeting the time travelers. And wastes no time before throwing the company into chaos and being adopted by 16-Year Old Sephiroth. Legally. With full approval from his mother. It's pure crack. I love it.

Now, for my bookmarks! Today's theme is Kingdom Hearts!

Fic #3

Kingdom Hearts Ψ: The Seeker of Darkness by HouseofSannae

Fandom(s): Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy XIII

Word Count: 462,851

Fics/Chapters: 30/138

Published: November 25th, 2017

Last Updated: October 30th, 2020

This is a big series. But an excellent one. Sannae is a brilliant writer, and executed her plans masterfully. Vanitas is easily one of the best characters in it, and the final battle at the Keyblade Graveyard is appropriately epic. The whole series is so good I struggle to come up with anything else to say. Just, go read it. You won't be disappointed.

Fic #4

Regardless of warnings the future doesn’t scare me at all (Nothing’s like before) by ArchWriter

Fandom: Kingdom Hearts

Word Count: 157,516

Chapters: 19

Published: February 22nd, 2019

Last Updated: March 25th

This one updates very slowly. But in exchange, we get a fic of incredible quality, easily one of the best in the fandom. It details the journey of Vanitas and an amnesiac Sora through Worlds in order to get his memories back and return to the realm of light. They go through many different worlds, and Vanitas's character development is a delight to witness. And he's corrupting Sora. The pure boy is not pure anymore. He can now say "fuck".

Fic #5

Memoriam Dolorum by Chrissss (@tina-nina)

Fandom: Kingdom Hearts

Word Count: 32,398

Chapters: 6

Published: June 3rd, 2019

Last Updated: August 18th

...I originally wasn't going to put this one here, but fuck it. Chris, if you're reading this, your fic is an absolute masterpiece and people should know about it. Ahem. The basic premise of this fic is rather simple: The Union X Player is reincarnated as Sora. This fic happens during Castle Oblivion, where the memories of the Age of Fairy Tales slowly start to surface. And if Marluxia and Larxene just so happen to be regaining aspects from Lauriam and Elrena, well... The character interactions are on point, and made me love Marluxia even more. Damn it, Chris. You and Arya dragged me kicking and sreaming into the Church of Marluxia and I can't even complain.

Fic #6

Bloody Sakura Rose by Arya_Rayne (@arya-rayne)

Fandom(s): Kingdom Hearts/RWBY

Word Count: 117,851

Chapters: 35

Published: November 24th, 2019

Last Updated: May 7th (Completed)

Arya, this is for you. To start, I absolutely love this. It was the fic that brought me to Tumblr. I had already made contact with this hellsite, but knowing Arya had a tumblr account led me to make my own. Ahem. BSR is an absolute delight, from Ruby's relationship with her father, to her being dragged into the war, to Luxord, Xigbar, and Demyx- It's an amazing ride from beggining to end, and I am proud to have been there to watch it unfold.

That's All, Folks! See ya next Saturday!
